Thank. Goodness. It's. Friday. I feel like this week has dragged on...maybe it's because I've been super tired from staying up late to watch the Olympics. I am not used to going to bed after 11 and getting up at 6:30. I need more hours of sleep! Let me tell you that once the clock strikes 5 today (ok, 3), I will be making myself one of these bad boys. I gotta get these refreshing drinks in today because there will be no drinking on Saturday in preparation for my triathlon on Sunday. I have to be fresh for the race! I think that one of the secrets to an incredible mojito is brown sugar. One of my friends filled me in on that fantastic tip last summer, and it changed my world. The brown sugar gives it a deeper flavor. I love adding in fresh strawberries, but it's just as good without them. When the hubs turned 30, I made a big bowl of muddled strawberries, mint, and brown sugar, and I put out a bottle of mango run and a liter of Sprite. It was a make your own mojito bar, and it was fabulous. Again, I normally don't measure the ingredients, but I did it for you guys. If your mint plant is exploding like mine (I seriously cannot keep up), try these before the summer is gone! Strawberry Mango Mojito RecipeMakes two rocks-size drinksPrint this recipeNote: Feel free to play around with this. I love mango rum, but you could try a variety of different rums. Make yours as strong or as weak as you prefer (this is on the stronger side). If you like sweeter drinks, use more brown sugar.1 tablespoon brown sugar4 medium strawberries, hulled and diced1/4 cup mint leaves, ripped4 ounces mango rum7.5 ounces SpriteUsing a mortar and pestle (or a bowl and spoon), mash together the strawberries, sugar, and mint. Let sit for 5-10 minutes so the strawberries release their juice. Divide this mixture into two rocks glasses. Divide the rum and sprite between the glasses. Stir and add ice.

Welcome!

Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude.
